REST FOR DISPLAY-FRAMES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,886, dated March 5, 1889.

Application filed June 19, 1888- To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ROBERT FARIES, of the city of Decatur, county of Macon, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rest-s for Display- Frames, of which the following is a specification.

It is the object of my invention to provide display-frames with cheap and effective rests for shoes, and Iattain my object by themcans hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings accompanying and forming" a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan of my device. Fig. 2 is a plan of the central portion of the same slightly modified, and Fig. 3 represents the device in perspective.

The saddle h of the rest has a central hole for a securing-screw, a recess, 7i, concentric with the hole, and opposed notches the same depth as the recess. If the saddle is to be secured to a round bar, it may have the concave depression 72 in its under surface, as shown in Fig. 3. The rest comprises two coacting bars, t i, somewhat elastic, having each a bend adapted to recess 71.. The bars extend divergently from opposite sides of the saddle, are bent from each other at is. to form rests and upward a117,: to form clamp-jaws. The bars may be held in the saddle by means of the curing-screw 7, as shown in Fig. 3, or the surrounding rim may be beaten down over them, as shown in Fig. 1. In either case the central bends form a base that prevents the clampjaws from twisting away from each other. The rim holds the bars together.

i l l Serial No. 277,601. (No model) i apart until the heel and sole rest on bends 7;,

extent and in any suitable manner.

The screw when in place retains the bars in the recess. \Vhen the rim is beaten over, the bars will i be retained in the recess whether the screw is in position or not.

To place a shoe in a rest, the bars are sprung I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A rest comprising the saddle recessed in its upper surface and the bars, the bars held centrally in the saddle and extended diver gently on opposite sides thereof, as set forth.

A rest comprising the saddle 72, recessed in its upper surface, the bars 1' 1', held centrally in the saddle and extended diverg'cntly on opposite sides thereof, and the supportingsurfaces 7;, formed of the tcrmim'itions ol' the bars, as set forth.

3. A rest coni n-ising the saddle having the concave under surface, the bars in the saddle, and the attaching-screw adapted to retain the bars in the saddle and secure the saddle to a frame, as and for the purpose set forth.

4'. A rest comprising the saddle 7i, recessed in its upper surface, thebars i, held centrally in. the saddle and extended divergent-Lyon opposite sides thereof, the supports 76', and the clamps 7r, both formed of terminations of the bars, as set forth.

5. A rest comprising the saddle and the wires, the saddle recessed in its uppersu rface and notched to receive the wires, as set forth.

In testimony whereoflsign my name in the presence of two subscribing, witnesses ROBERT PARTIES.
